After this, the apple producers association held a meeting with the farmers and orchardists present. “It has been decided to ensure the participation of farmers in large numbers by holding meetings at the village level. It was also decided that the movement will continue until the government bans the cutting of apple trees, eviction from land and lockout of houses,” they said.
